Late payments are a problem for over 90% of businesses.<\/a> Overworked finance teams, traditional paper processes, and a confusing payment experience can all contribute to delayed payments, or worse, bad debt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, businesses can leverage technology to streamline their payment process, drive efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction. This is where Paylink comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses using Paylink can send electronic invoices via SMS or email. Customers are directed to an online, branded payment portal where they can input their information and make a payment. The payment data is then reconciled with your ledger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, businesses can leverage Paylink transaction data to inform their account receivables (AR) strategies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Benefits of Paylink <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

#1:<\/strong> Accelerate time to revenue<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slow payment process is one of the barriers to healthy cash flow and growth. Back-office procedures and customer priorities often dictate how quickly a business will receive revenue. Things like paper checks, manual invoice reconciliation, customer forgetfulness, or missed invoices can all delay timely payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paylink speeds up this process by enabling businesses to rapidly request payments via SMS or email. As a result, customers can pay immediately with their preferred method, and this information is automatically reconciled with your ledger.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Drive back-office efficiency<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paylink\u2019s automated processes can also improve business efficiency up to 60%<\/a>. The payment is posted to a business\u2019 ledger and automatically matches payments with invoices. This reduces the repetitive tasks of data entry and verifying payment methods. Instead, customers can pay via credit card or ACH via a single link. Best of all, your AR department only needs to disseminate a paylink to receive payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Boost your customer experience<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high-friction payment experience can lead to dropped checkouts or late payments and a confused or irritated customer. Some of high-friction payment examples include redirection to a card issuer site for payment processing, off-brand payment portals, a lack of payment options, or paper invoices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you integrate email or SMS payment portals with an embedded payment experience, customers can breeze through their payment without a hassle. That positive experience improves your cash flow and reflects positively on your brand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Paylink for yourself <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
